Separation of solids from liquids (Decanter):<\/h1>\n

Separation of solid materials from liquids plays a key role in countless industrial processes. Centrifuge decanters of Alfa Laval<\/a> company perform this important action extremely well.<\/p>\n

How does a centrifuge work?<\/h2>\n

A decanter<\/a> centrifuge separates solids from one or two liquid phases in a continuous process. This operation is done by using centrifugal forces which can be about 3000 times the force of gravity.<\/p>\n

When matter is affected by such forces. The denser solid particles move to the outside, the wall of the rotating bowl, while the liquid phase with less density forms an inner central layer. Wherever necessary, different dam plates are used to change the depth of the liquid, which is called a pond.<\/p>\n

Sediments resulting from solid materials are continuously removed from the bowl by a spiral conveyor that rotates at different speeds.<\/p>\n

They become Therefore, the solid material is gradually plowed out of the pond and placed on top of the beach cone.<\/p>\n

The force of the centrifuge condenses the solids and expels the excess liquid, then the dried solids are discharged from the bowl – the clarified liquid phase overflows from the dam plates located at the opposite ends of the bowl. The baffles inside the centrifuge direct the separated phases to the correct flow path and prevent any kind of cross contamination.<\/p>\n

The speed of the spiral conveyor is automatically adjusted by using a variable frequency drive (VFD) in order to regulate the changes in the load of solids.<\/p>\n
